Isaiah 2:12-22

12For a day belonging to the Lord of Armies is coming against all that is proud and lofty, against all that is lifted up — it will be humbled —

13against all the cedars of Lebanon, lofty and lifted up, against all the oaks of Bashan,

14against all the high mountains, against all the lofty hills,

15against every high tower, against every fortified wall,

16against every ship of Tarshish, and against every splendid sea vessel.

17The pride of mankind will be brought low, and human loftiness will be humbled; the Lord alone will be exalted on that day.

18The worthless idols will vanish completely.

19People will go into caves in the rocks and holes in the ground, away from the terror of the Lord and from his majestic splendor, when he rises to terrify the earth.

20On that day people will throw their worthless idols of silver and gold, which they made to worship, to the moles and the bats.

21They will go into the caves of the rocks and the crevices in the cliffs, away from the terror of the Lord and from his majestic splendor, when he rises to terrify the earth.

22Put no more trust in a mere human, who has only the breath in his nostrils. What is he really worth?
